Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the Wolford v. Lopez case regarding firearm permits?

The Wolford v. Lopez case challenges Hawaii's restrictive concealed carry laws, arguing they violate the Second Amendment post-Bruen. The DOJ and 25 states support Supreme Court review, highlighting concerns about lower courts defying Bruen standards and the potential for prolonged denial of carry rights.

How has the DOJ and AG Bondi supported the challenge against concealed carry bans?

The DOJ and AG Bondi have filed amicus briefs urging the Supreme Court to review carry bans enacted after the Bruen decision. They argue that these bans are inconsistent with the Second Amendment and historical precedent, and that the Supreme Court must intervene to correct lower court defiance.

What is the Ninth Circuit's role in concealed carry law challenges?

The Ninth Circuit has been criticized for its rulings on concealed carry laws, including upholding Hawaii's property ban in Wolford v. Lopez and previously having a strong record of upholding gun laws before Bruen. Critics argue the circuit shows continued hostility towards Second Amendment rights.

What are the potential consequences if the Supreme Court denies review in the Wolford v. Lopez case?

If the Supreme Court denies certiorari in the Wolford v. Lopez case, it is argued that there will be no meaningful right to carry firearms in Hawaii for at least several years while litigation continues through the lower courts.
